A COOL SEPTEMBER.

The Temperature for the Month Lower
Than it Has Been in Fifteen Years.
The mean temperature for September was
lower than it has been before in fifteen
years. The coolest September Savannah
has experienced since the signal station was
established here was in 1871. That year the
average temperature for September was II .
Last month it was 49, A year ago it was
II. The rainfall was very light too, being
not quite 2 inches. This, with one excep-
ton, is the hghtest rainfall in September
since 1870 Last year it was about one
quarter of an inch less than it was this year
Signal Observer Salisbury, in his Septem-
her report, gives some very interesting sta
tistics concerning the weather. The hottest
day was the Sth, when mercury went
up to 93'. The lowest was so on the night
OF the 25th. The greatest range of tempera-
ture was on the 2nd, when mercury ran up
from 6S' to the maximum for the month, %
The average daily range was a little over

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.

Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The transportation lines report freight
traffic exceedingly heavy to all points in
South Florida.
The work on the first twenty miles of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad
is being steadily pushed forward by the con
tractors, and the laying of rails will be com
menced before long. The company have
decided to adopt the route by way of La
Fayette, and the contract for the work to
that point will be let in a short while.
The cotton merchants of Eastman have
united in a petition to the authorities of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road for reduction in the present freight
rates from Eastman to Savannah, SO as to
be able to compete with Dublin on the one
side and Harrell's Landing, on the Ocmulgee
river, on the other, at which points the
rates are half what is charged from East
man, and the distance about the same. The
railroad company has replied that it cannot
make any reduction without reducing the
rates at every station.
The Palatka Netcs has this to say about
the extension of the Southern Georgia and
Florida railway. which is now being built
from Macon to Valdosta, to that city "The

CLEWS THAT MAY UNRAVEL THE
BEAULIEU MYSTERY.

a Part of the Murdered Womans
Clothing and the Two Missing Teeth
in Possession of Parties at Isle of
Hope-The Authorities Notified of
the Discovery.
Some very important evidence concern
ing the Beaulieu mystery has recently been
discovered and it is not improbable that
it will lead 10 the arrest of the peIpe-
traitor of the horrible crime. 1t has been
learned that the woman was not killed with
a musket but with an ak, and to the ak still
cling hairs and it is covered with blood.
Where the AK was obtained was also
found a shovel, black straw hat with
red feather in it, corset and piece of
dress. They were all spotted with blood
and in the hat was cut that was evidently
made by the fatal blow.
THE TWO MISSING TEETH.
The two teeth that were missing from the
woman's Hpper jaw and part of her jaw
bone were also found. These articles are
now in possession of a gentleman living at
Isle Of Hope. A letter was received by the
MORNING NEWS from Isle of Hope urging
that the parties in whose possession these
articles were found be arrested and held as
witnesses. The letter VIII be turned over
TO the Coroner for his information this
morning,
The discovery of these articles will ma
terially aid in solving the mystery if they
Will not completely brush away the cloud
that now overhangs it. There are persons
who can identify the shawl and hat if they
were worn by the missing woman, Annie
Ferguson, who is supposed to be the woman
murdered.
on THE MURDERER'S TRACK.
If they are so identified then there will be
but little doubt that the negro, with whom
she was last seen, is the murderer, and it
will not be difficult to locate him. The dis
covery of this evidence also indicates that
the body was found by certain persons be
fore Mr.. Carter found it, and that the
parties who discovered it failed to report
the matter to the authorities There seems
little doubt now but that the murderer will
be brought to justicejf the case is properly
followed up

Gossip of the Diamond.

AS to the alleged fright of the New Or
leans team of being mobbed in Charleston,
the Ne,Os and Courier says that there was
not the slightest ground for it, The only
possible ground, it says was the thrashing
that Powell received on Thursday night,
and that was a purely personal matter. He
had taken advantage of his position to curse
and abuse the umpire in the most abusive
and obscene language. The umpire had no
redress. He could not fine him and he
could not resent the insult on the grounds.
He waited until the game was over and then
he fined Mr. Powell in the only way he could
fine him. As to mobbing, there was not
the slightest danger. There is not man in
Charleston who would raise a finger against
any base ball player under any circum-
stances. Nobody ever dreamed of doing it.
The danger existed, if it existed at ALL only
in the minds of the New Orleans team. They
have gone. May they rest in peace.

Fell off the Dock.

Policeman Roche found negro named
John Rocking sitting on the steps of the
market dock yesterday afternoon. He was
under the influence of liquor, and seemed
very deserous of converting the steps into
bed, and taking a nap. The officer was
afraid the fellow would fall in the river, so
he ordered him away. Rocking got up
and left, but when the officer walked off he
returned to his old place. and fell to doing.
Roche had walked hardly block when he
heard cries coming from the dock, and he
ran back, and found white man and a
negro pulling the fellow out of the
water, into which he had fallen. Rocking,
although, he was not angry because an at
tempt at suicide had been foiled, began ours
ing his rescuers in most outrageous man
ner, so he was removed TO the barracks.

A Useful Precaution.

II is a useful precaution for the tourist, the
commercial traveller, or the emigrant to the
West, to take along Hostetter's stomach Bit

prevent or remedy the nausea which the Earring

cause them. Vastly preferable is il for this
simple, but needful purpose. TO the heady un.

A SUGGESTION TO THE CITY
About Extending tho Broughton Street
Pavement East.

Pavement East.
Editor Morning Ne,cs. ! believe the bill
authorizing the city to pave streets and
assess the cost of same on owners of ada
cent property has passed the General Assem-
bly,. If that is the case it is probable that
the much TO be desired work of completing
the paving of Broughton street will be done
without delay. As that part OF Broughton
street east Of Abercorn is at present not used
for business purposes, and much of the prop
erty is owned by people of small means,
and does not bring very large rentals,
| take the liberty of suggesting, as a matter
of economy, if the street is paved, that the
roadways he not only narrowed by widen
ing the sidewalks, but also by carrying out
the idea so often and so forcibly suggested
in the MORNING NEWS, of making grass
pats on either side. All that is required in
that part of the street is to leave room for
two vehicles to pass each other on either
side of the street car track.
hope the city authorities will take heed
of the suggestion so often made in your col
umns in regard; to street paving, as the

RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS.
Gleanings Among the Shipping and
Along the Wharves.


The sloop yacht Glance, Mr.. f. S. Iath.
rop, came around from Isle of Hope yester-
day and anchored at the foot of Price street,
on the opposite side of the river.
The steamer Alice Clark, from Augusta,
arrived here early yesterday morning She
has been three weeks in making the trip.
The most of the time she spent on Cooney
Gut bar. Her cargo of cotton had to be
lightered before she could be got off the bar.
She will proceed hence to the Altamaha
river to run on that route, having recently
been purchased, it is said, by parties in
Lumber City.
The German bark Elena, while on her
way to sea yesterday, grounded on a shoal
a short distance below the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway Company's
wharf. There was a very low tide yester-
day, and vessels found some difficulty in
getting down the river. The Elena will
probably be pulled off on this mornings
tide.
The steamship Napier, outward bound.
grounded yesterday in front of Gordon's
wharves. She will probably get off to day.
The place where the steamer stopped is ap-
parently new shoal, or lump, and ought to
be promptly removed. Vessels of the deep
est draft are now coming up to the city; in
fact, every year sees larger vessels at the
wharves, and any temporary bank that
makes its appearance should receive imme-
date attention, so as not to change the good
reputation of the port for deep water.

Constable Burke Gets Into Trouble.

There was a fight at the corner of
Broughton and Barnard streets yes
terday afternoon that caused consid-
cradle excitement and drew large
number of people around the combatants
Three or four white boys were playing on
the corner and some negro youths began
stoning them. The rocking was entirely
without provocation, and the negroes were
so vicious in their wanton attack that Mr..
S. Levison went to the assistance of the
white boys and tried to drive the negroes
away. A negro Constable, Jim Burke, saw
Mr. Levison aiding the boys and he cham
pioned the side of the negroes, and set upon
Mr. Levison, beating him badly. A crowd
soon assembled and stopped the fight A
policeman arrived and arrested Burke, who
at first refused to go TO the barracks until
Mr. Levison was arrested, but his friends
advised him to go, and he went. Mr. Levi
son will also appear before the Mayor this

Died at the Inflrmary.

Mrs Richardson, the woman who came
from her former home in Hardeeville, S. c.,
TO Savannah last week, penniless and in a
dying condition, and was cared for through
the kind charity of the Sisters of Mercy,
died at st. Josephs Infrmary yesterday.
The woman's story is very sad one. Her
husband, who was Baptist preacher, died
few days ago. The family were very
needy and almost destitute of everything.
During her husbands illness the wife was
also taken i'll. When death severed the two
the neighbors sent the woman to Savannah.
She came here an utter stranger, and
through the charity OF the sisters in charge
she was received at the Infirmary and cared
for until death came to her relief
